BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 1 June 2025, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a three-bedroom end-terraced house in PE8 from £520 a month to £650 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £650 a month, effective from 1 June 2025, the same as the proposal. It used a fully modernised two-bedroom mid-terraced house nearby at £975 a month as its main guide, but made deductions for the tenant's improvements, the lack of modernisation and the disrepair the landlord is responsible for.
